A close-up of an Airthorn.
An Airthorn is an aerial enemy from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. A flock of Airthorns is observed in one room only, the Dark Transit Station, and cannot be scanned in normal gameplay for the reason being that Samus is moving through a tunnel in Morph Ball and cannot access her Scan Visor when they pass by. When accessing a Secret World in the same room, however, Samus, now in her bipedal form, can scan the flying mechanoids and read their information. Airthorns are not stored in her logbook since they are not meant to be scanned, though the well-detailed information suggests they were originally planned to be.
These mechanisms were originally programmed to patrol the skies and inform their Luminoth creators of any potential danger from the Ing Horde, much like the ground-based Sentinel Crystals and Dark Sentinel Crystals. However, unlike the latter two, the Airthorns have malfunctioned and they now obediently give their data to the Ing. They seem to possess some sort of Dark Energy-based shield, given the fact they fly through the atmosphere of Dark Aether unhindered.
The Airthorns' in-game behavior is identical to Dark Aether's Nightbarbs, making them a counterpart of sorts. Their physical structures are also similar as well.
